The Caymen solution is interesting however; first, you must run
Xgator in an Xwindows environment and second, one doesn't get
any extra real-estate.  At best you could probably double the pixal
resolution but you still won't see any more screen than if you were 
viewing the original on the Mac.  Another consideration is performance.
As I recall, it is sluggish and the Caymen tech people were very honest
in admitting that they've never seen it run on a NeXT.  I talked with them
for quite some time and realized that I would have to wait for a
different solution mainly because I need more real-estate.  Caymen was 
great and I hope someone else calls them up--they've probably upgraded 
again by now--, unfortunately, I don't have their number handy.

Ushare used with Executor might be a better option when the tecnology
becomes more developed and able to work together.  I think there will
be more resources after NeXT fixes some of the bugs in NS 3.0.  

If there are other alternatives or if I'm mistaken please e-mail
me as this seems to be an ongoing difficulty that I'd like to resolve.
